    Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 repair.

    Been lurking awhile and learning the whole time. Thought I would share a little repair project that I did. I am very new to this kind of work so go easy on me.

    Because I read the wrong pinout an attempt to replace a bad DIN plug ended with magic smoke coming from my Klipsch Powered subwoofer. This is how I fixed it.

          Yeah. I've got two Klipsch Promedia 2.1's, they sound amazing considering their size. I've had to replace the DIN cable on both though - and quickly learned myself the Klipsch didn't use standard DIN wiring pinouts!

              Klipsch Promedia 2.1 rhythmic subwoofer "pulsing" during standby
              by Xan03
              Hi,

              I have this 2.1 Klipsch set where the subwoofer emits a constant whine in standby, in addition to a constant rhythmic pulsing/thumping. Only way to make it stop is to cut power. I think this thread mentions the same issue, though my set is not a BT one: https://community.klipsch.com/index....-bt-subwoofer/

              I think all this Klipsch gear is using crappy capacitors. Is it worth trying to replace the caps in the subwoofer amp to make this go away?

              Klipsch RSW-12 subwoofer won't power on
              by scubabuzz
              I have a Klipsch RSW-12 subwoofer that will flash the LED red when the power switch is turned on and once in a while will create a pop out of the speaker. It does not blow the fuse so I am assuming this is probably a power supply issue. Does anyone know if there is a service manual and/or schematics available for this unit?

              Please help, subwoofer connected to tv, read description below

              I've got a subwoofer that I've had for nearly 20 years, it did come with a basic remote which I've lost. It's a generic make of subwoofer, I can't see a brand sticker on it. It comes with 2 speakers.

              Question recently I've connected it up to my tv which has greatly improved the sound on my tv, however I'd like to be able to mute the subwoofer when ads come on or just mute it when the phone rings etc. I tried using a cheap all in one tv remote on the subwoofer and the volume button would only work to increase volume but not turn it down or mute it

              Is there a way of...

              Klipsch computer subwoofer speakers hissing buzzing. Does this look like bad cap?
              by link626
              Klipsch 4.1 computer speakers hissing.

              Looking at all the caps on the amplifier, they all seem flat, except one maybe.

              Not sure if this is leakage, or factory marker pen.

              Can you tell?

              The speaker system recently developed nonstop hissing noise. after 22 years.

              Is there a special kind of cap I have to buy?
              Low ESR? or general?

              I see these for sale.... Panasonic FC 47uF 50v low ESR radial Capacitors caps 105C New low impedance...
